Just announced… The 2015 Marucci Cat 6 baseball bat line will be in stock Fall, 2014.
What we know about the Cat 6 baseball bat lineup so far:
- Fall 2014 release date
- One-piece
- No ring in the barrel
- All metal alloy construction
- Similar profile to the original Cat 5 BBCOR
One of our bat reviewers says “….I have swung it in the cage, and it has a lot of pop. It feels good. Reminds me of the Cat 5 BBCOR, which is a very good thing.”
We expect to see the Cat 6 in the following bat categories: BBCOR, Youth Big Barrel, Youth, and hopefully a Junior Big Barrel for the little guys playing coach pitch. If pricing is similar to the Cat 5, the Cat 6 BBCOR would be priced at or around $199.95
Marucci is a best selling wood bat maker offering hand made, bone-rubbed maple and ash wood bats. They have taken Major League Baseball by storm in the past decade, with almost a 30% share of professional baseball players now swinging Marucci wood bats.
Is there a way I can demo this bat?
Later this year there will be demo bats available, but for now we only have a few pictures and a short video of the Marucci Cat 6. We have a Cat 6 BBCOR Review later this year.
I have the bat now and it is very balanced tons of pop went 3-3 my first game with it
My son is 12, he wants the cat6, is this a legal bat in usssa sanctioned tournaments?
You would need to contact the person who is running that tournament to know for sure what bats are allowed, but Youth or Youth Big Barrel bats typically have the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp on them. It just comes down to what barrel size (2 1/4″, 2 5/8″ or 2 3/4″) is allowed in the tournament. You can find a great selection of Youth and Youth Big Barrel bats at CheapBats.com if you’re looking for something for your son.
